1st January 1878, œ20, P-Unlisted, Color Proof by Charles, Skipper & East. Black on light red underprint, allegorical scene with Britannia with natives with one holding an elephant's tusk. Pin-punch "Specimen C.Skipper & East" though it is a proof printed on thin card. Minor toning, but very probably unique, so find another. *The International Bank of Hamburg & London Ltd. was founded in 1872, with the business being taken over by the International Bank of London Ltd. in January of 1880. In turn this Bank was liquidated in 1905. It is not known whether the Bank intended to issue in the United Kingdom, which would have been difficult, or more likely in the colonies such as Jamaica.
